Help finding a desk!

Anyone know what to type in on Amazon if I am looking for decorative LED light strips to place behind my iMac?

Not from Amazon, but I got mine here: http://www.ledlightingkit.com/ much more inexpensive than IKEA (which is 5 hours away from me anyway)

So, I'm looking for a long and wide desk UNFORTUNATELY, ikea is out of the question. No location near me and to ship a Galant (the desk i VERY much wanted) will cost over 350+.. the desk is priced at 160. So, i'm not paying 510 for a Galant.. my budget is really around 300 or so and I'm looking for something simple and sturdy.


I need to hold my 27" iMac, my MBA and my iPad/iPhone as well as having ample space for working on.

Any suggestions? Wanted a Galant for Xmas but it was just too expensive to ship.

If you or a friend is handy with tools, think about a nice slab of wood, hopefully a barn find that would be walnut or oak. The possibilities are about endless if you start with a slab about 1 inch thick. For $300 bucks you could even go to a Woodcraft or similar store and buy many kinds of exotic wood slabs that with a bit of ingenuity and work will provide you a custom desk that a millionaire would envy!

I was looking at getting something like this when I get the refreshed iMac... http://www.amazon.com/Graphite-Fros...7U/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1336060347&sr=8-17

I was also looking at the galant desks from Ikea.. Since we have one in Colorado now, I still need to go to the store and check it out. But I like the look of the glass top and think it would go well with the style of the iMac.

Ikea Mickael

I have an older Mickael corner desk from Ikea. You can find them used for about $60 on craigslist. It's wide enough for a 27" display, cable routing through the back, magnetic white board, lots of storage. I use the metal filing system for bills, bank statements, etc. I have my subwoofer and speakers on the top, along with some stuffed animals. You can see the storage for DVDs under the shelf on the right. I love my desk. It's been disassembled and moved 3 times now, and still fits together perfectly.
